The Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has read with concern a statement credited to some aggrieved members of the party in the State to the effect that, among others, the State executive engages in anti-party activities, and should be dissolved.

In a Press release issued by Mr. Alex Kalejaye, the State Publicity Secretary the party said ” we feel obliged to say, in no ambiguous terms that members of the State executive have never, and will never contemplate anti-party in APC that holds so much hope for us, individually and collectively as a country.

According to the statement, the State chapter of APC is currently preoccupied with electioneering thoughts and strategies to achieve victory at the 2019 polls for all the APC candidates including President Muhammadu Buhari.

The statement read: ” The State Chairman of the party, Engr. Ade Adetimehin, is a true democrat and a party man to the core, who is endowed with rich history of enviable stability in his political history and ideology. His loyalty to the party and its national leadership is without blemish, considering his political records from secord Republic to 1999 till date.

“The leader of the party and governor of the state, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, can never compromise the fortune and development of the state and the party for whatever consideration.

“Our priority in the last few months has been how to unite the party, appease aggrieved members and aspirants so that we can collectively deliver the State for our dear party during the general election next year.

“It was also comical that the Alhaji Alli Olanusi-led group claims that the State Executive of the party is funding opposition party, this is unfounded, strange and far from reality on ground.

“While we are reluctant to conclude that their action was triggered by the need to position themselves for patronage during the general elections, we urge the National Working Committee to discontinuance the agitation.

The state executives of the party therefore appealled to all gladiators within the party to lower personal ego and grievances in the interest of the party.

They assured the readiness of the APC Executive led by Engr Adetimehin to continue to work hard to ensure unity of members and bring all aggrieved leaders and chieftains together for the overall interest of our the party.
